New Compact Hydrogen Production Unit（HYSERVE Series）
Engineering Department
Outline
Our New Compact Hydrogen Production Unit（HYSERVE Series）is designed
based on high-performance catalysts developed by Osaka Gas, and can
generate pure hydrogen at low cost on-site.
- HYSERVE SERIES received some honorable awards.
- Engineering Commendation Award in 2004 by Engineering Advancement Association of Japan
- Osaka Environmental Award in 2005 by Osaka Prefecture
- Japan Gas Association Technology Award in 2006 by Japan Gas Association
Feature
- Compact Packaged Design
- Both Reformer system and PSA system are packaged in one unit. Its installation area is below 50% compared with our conventional one.
- 1 skid mount packaged structure can make transportation and installation very easy.
- Compact design can reduce heat loss and pressure drop.
- Low Cost
- Natural gas supplied at medium pressure(>0.1MPa) is available to reduce compression power significantly.
- Effective use of PSA off-gas, depending on the operation condition, can reduce natural gas consumption rate.
- Standardization of specifications contributes to reduce fabrication cost.
- 1 skid mount packaged structure contributes to reduce installation time and cost at a customer site.
- Easy Operation
- Automatic operation by one button start and stop is available. Any certification and experts are not necessary to operate.
- Most daily maintenance and check work are not necessary.
- Load management between 40 to 100 % and hot standby operation are available.
- Remote monitoring system and alarm notification system can help emergent support.
